Quilt is delightful!

Sister is an .itch and I have a bunch of sisters; I know.

I agree with everyone that she is jealous.

However, we do have a lady in the guild that launches into a instructional tirade when you compliment her on her work. Her work is beautiful but you can't compliment her.

Sure is pretty, love the colors favorites of mine and your quilting is fantastic. Only hope I get the courage to try that and it comes out half as well. Keep on stitching.

Who would tie off a table runner anyway?

Are you kidding?! Well, it might've been "easier" if you had tied if off, but it wouldn't look nearly as beautiful! I think it looks wonderful!

Good thing it isn't for your sister in law. Your mother will love it.

I've heard people say that "real" quilts are tied. I have to say, each to her own, I don't especially like tied quilts. Nothing wrong with them, just my personal preference. If your SIL doesn't like hand quilting, she should tie her lips shut! You do amazing work and she's probably green with envy, to match your project.

I need not look any further for someone to agree with. :D

It's beautiful. And happy. And your sis must be shivering in her boots thinking you were going to make HER do some quilting! :lol:

You did such a good job on that. It's beautiful, and I love the setting...the fence is a nice display area.
